Hallie Schaeffer ’16 – Musical Director
Welcome back, everyone! It was quite an adjustment back from break, but we’re muddling through. We are ridiculously excited to welcome back all our juniors from their semester abroad (Kyra, Jono, Caroline, Savannah and Liam)!
We’re starting the semester off right away learning all the senior solos – first rehearsal is tomorrow!
Check out our list of senior solos on our Repertoire page!
Hope you all enjoyed the all-acapella winter concert on Thursday! Everyone did superbly, as usual.
We finally made it to finals week! Just a few difficult exams to go and we get a break….
We can do this!
Good luck on your finals, have a relaxing break, and see you all in 2016!
These two weeks before finals are notoriously busy, but give yourself a break and come to our fall semester final concert this Thursday, Dec. 3! Chapel at 8:30 pm. It will run latest to 9:30, probably a bit earlier than that.
Check out the Facebook event!
Bursurka was a success! We debuted two new songs, “Swimming” by Florence + the Machine and “Hooked on a Feeling” by Blue Swede. The soloists were Schaeffer ’16 and Litts ’18, respectively.
The next BOKA gig is our fall final concert, followed by the all-acapella winter concert.
Thanks to Ursus to singing with us!
We just got back from a lovely concert at St. Paul’s church. We launched their Human Trafficking Workshop that goes from 10 – 2pm today, featuring Becca Stevens as the keynote speaker. They’re doing wonderful work there! We got to donate $100 to a charity of our choice.
This concert could not be more appropriate after all the incidents in Paris, Beirut, and campuses around the country. We will get through this tough time if we stick together and love each other.
On that note, we want to thank all of our audience members for supporting us and bringing us energy in our performances, 24 College Street for hosting the candlelight vigil and allowing us into their space to sing, St. Paul’s for having this workshop and asking us to perform, and Zac and Hallie for keeping us on track and scheduling all these events!
Some side notes:
– Amazing performance by Isabel last night in Sondheim on Sondheim!
– BURSURKA is this coming Thursday!
